Rolling around 2 ton cars with your dirtbike is a good way to kill only yourself. Even in this video, the guy on the heaviest one, a quad, plowed straight into the cop and only got tackled off it.
The cop knows this too. He jumped in front of him to tackle him.
I agree that you might get scared by people acting too rowdy, and that you might get your paint job scratched, but your chances of dying are way higher with a moving truck nearby than a few dirt bikes.
Yes and the cop could’ve killed these kids by popping their tires while they’re riding recklessly. Rather than do actual police work that takes time and effort to remove these bikes from the streets, the cops decided to do the easiest and most dangerous thing for everyone involved. This was absolutely the worst possible way they could go about to stop people who ride like this.
Depending on the belt used the tires don’t actually just “pop” like in the movies. They get holds such causes them to deflate and become undeliverable. Ever got a punctured tire before? It’s not an instant process by any means.
There are belts can actually make larger holes as the spike comes out, but this doesn’t seem to be the case here.
A safer thing to do is block the road with cars and kettle from behind. Then even if people flee on foot you can impound the bikes or whatever to a vastly better effect in terms of reducing public nuisance.
The officer here wasn’t improving safety, he was making a larger hazard, putting himself in danger, and ended up paying for it.
They want to use their toys and they want to cause harm.
Nah, fuck the people who ride like this, they could kill someone.
Like someone jumping in front of moving vehicles
Like a child, for example?
Themselves.

They didnt shoot the kids so there’s still a small margin for “absolute worst”
The kids are riding willingly past a cop car.

As a centrist[1], I say fuck both sides.

Any dumb Cunt stupid enough to stand in the middle of the road…
Those are called pedestrians.
And they’re also on the footpath.
